Five Fall Favorites- Epistolary

Whew, did I spell that right? *checks* Nope, but I fixed it. 😛 Today I’m sharing five of my favorite Epistolary books: those which are written mostly as a diary, newspaper, or letter. I like books like this– do you? Let me know down in the comments!

But before I get into that, I’d like to welcome you to the Bonfires room! I hope you brought your marshmallows… just kidding! I have a stash of s’mores supplies over on that table over there. Find a marshmallow (or two!) and a roasting stick, then join me here on one of these camping chairs. While we roast the marshmallows, I’ll tell you about some of my favorite epistolary books!

Home Fires of the Great War by Rebekah A. Morris

I absolutely loved this book! If you’re interested in reading my review, you may click here, but in short: The writing was amazing, with not only many humorous scenes, but also some mournful ones. It was inspiring to me as a letter writer!

Letters From a Scatter-Brained Sister by Amanda Tero

This is a funny story that also has some great Scriptural truths!! It is likely to convict the reader as well as entertain.

Gertrude’s Diary by Isabella Alden

This book is interesting as well as extremely convicting, at least to me! It is historical fiction, and the writing is “old-fashioned”, I suppose… but it’s really good! The best part? You can read it for free by clicking here! (No, I am not paid nor obligated in any way to promote this!)

Escape on the Underground Railroad by Nancy LeSourd

It’s been a while since I read this book! If I remember right, it may have had some romance… but I do remember that it was quite interesting. It is likely worth a re-read!

Happy Day by Rebekah A. Morris

This was a sweet short story narrated by a little girl whose mother died when she was small. I don’t want to give away the ending, but it was pretty easy to pick up on what the ending would be as I read it. (Note: it does have some romance, but I did not find it to be inappropriate.)
